Brenda Zamora "Where Does The Good Go?"

This week, Erika sits down with Brenda Zamora — deputy director of Make It Work Nevada, Clark County School Board trustee, and one of Erika's favorite people — for a wide-ranging conversation about wearing many hats and staying human while doing it all.Brenda opens up about life as a caregiver, a mom of teenagers, and an elected official navigating the realities of the sandwich generation. She and Erika dig into the new school bell schedule and its ripple effects on working families, the importance of workplace flexibility, and why setting boundaries is essential — especially when you're in public office.They also discuss the Clancy case and what it reveals about postpartum depression, the healthcare system's failures, and why advocating for yourself at the doctor's office is a skill we need to teach the next generation. Brenda shares her personal journey with therapy, finding the right provider, and learning to stop trying to be a superhero.(00:00) - Show Intro (01:02) - Welcoming Brenda Zamora (03:04) - How Are You Doing?
